SuitCase Posted February 26, 2016 Share Posted February 26, 2016 @weilongli1 It was good I thought. I liked the MMIs, no role playing thankfully. Not sure how I stack up though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weilongli1 Posted February 26, 2016 Share Posted February 26, 2016 Just finished my Pitt interview! Being my first interview, I was super stressed but now it's over. Imores 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuitCase Posted February 27, 2016 Share Posted February 27, 2016 @weilongli1 how was it? MMI or panel? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HettyFan Posted February 27, 2016 Share Posted February 27, 2016 Anyone hear from Umich? No news at all... I heard they started to invite interviewees since Feb 2nd and sent out rej on Feb 12th... Well, there must be something wrong with me...NO NEWS AT ALL...: ( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geecee92 Posted February 27, 2016 Share Posted February 27, 2016 @HettyFan you can always contact the program directors by email? I needed to know UMich's decision before the official results were announced and they were more than happy to inform me. HettyFan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HettyFan Posted February 28, 2016 Share Posted February 28, 2016 @geecee092 Thanks a lot! So you mean Umich did not give you official re on Feb 12th, they emailed you the result because you asked? I just wonder how did other people know their rej on Feb 12th? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weilongli1 Posted February 28, 2016 Share Posted February 28, 2016 @SuitCase It was an MMI, 2 hours 30 minutes long, 4 interviewers and one break, with a tour and lunch provided. The only thing that tripped me up a little was the scenario questions, but they gave you time to think so it wasn't too big of a deal. 30 minutes passes by very quickly though, and I never ran out of things to talk about!

SuitCase Posted February 28, 2016 Share Posted February 28, 2016 @weilongli1 sounds just like Ohio State's, I really enjoyed it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HettyFan Posted February 29, 2016 Share Posted February 29, 2016 Scenario questions! I never expect they will do so. So what kind of scenario questions? "If you are a genetic counselor, how do you report xxx information to patients?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuitCase Posted February 29, 2016 Share Posted February 29, 2016 @HettyFan I think scenario questions are pretty common, even some role playing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HettyFan Posted February 29, 2016 Share Posted February 29, 2016 @Suitcase Aww...How to do that through Skype lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuitCase Posted February 29, 2016 Share Posted February 29, 2016 @HettyFan I'm sure they will find a way haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weilongli1 Posted February 29, 2016 Share Posted February 29, 2016 @HettyFan I think the scenario questions aren't really that difficult to do through a Skype interview. At least for me, it was more like answering questions for "How would you deal with a patient who just found out XYZ?" type questions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weilongli1 Posted February 29, 2016 Share Posted February 29, 2016 @SuitCase I'm already flying out to California for UC Irvine, I don't know if I can afford to/want to fly out again for another interview! Especially because I already have 5 interviews, but I'm never sure about whether that will be enough! In reality all I'm doing is getting more nervous just thinking about logistics and getting in to a school, I don't know how I'm going to be able to handle the weeks leading up to Match Day this year.

SuitCase Posted February 29, 2016 Share Posted February 29, 2016 @weilongli1 not exactly a bad problem to have, as my mom would say. haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weilongli1 Posted February 29, 2016 Share Posted February 29, 2016 @SuitCase Definitely not! I'm just in the camp of always thinking that they invited me to interviews by mistake or something. I've stopped reading the grad student profiles on the program websites, because it's always like "They were a research assistant at XYZ where they published 5 papers, and they worked at a homeless shelter and a suicide hotline, and they started a non-profit where they knit tiny scarves and hats for abandoned kittens." or something like that.

SuitCase Posted February 29, 2016 Share Posted February 29, 2016 @weilongli1 I used to think the same...then i realized all my accomplishments could be fluffed up like that too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gcfc1989 Posted February 29, 2016 Share Posted February 29, 2016 Hey guys! Dying to hear from CSU too. Based on when they've notified applicants in the past, I thought they would have emailed people by last week. Any day now!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weilongli1 Posted February 29, 2016 Share Posted February 29, 2016 @gc21 Did you contact them about your status? Try emailing the directors of the program? @Imores Am I going crazy or was your name Imorse before? I could have sworn that was what it was but I'm seeing it now and it's definitely not that!
